I had been driving the truck in to find any problems and discovered issues that will need to be corrected to make a dependable glider for conversion. I found that the air conditioning doesn't work well, so I have made the decision to not work it into the EV system.
The list seems to get longer at every turn, but that is going to be the case with a 15 year old vehicle. I discovered a water leak in the cab and removed the seats and floor coverings to clean up the floorboard, the source appears to be weather strip around the doors.
I have removed the bed box to access the frame and components that need to be removed.
During this I found that one leaf spring mount was rusted through and got a replacement from the dealer to replace it.
While I am waiting for my backordered Warp-9 to arrive, I will be removing the muffler, fuel tank and other gasoline engine components.
I have almost all the components except the batteries and motor, the steering box arrived yesterday.
